dd (8), very able and voracious reader, is also obsessed with animals, especially ponies.
She's just read Follyfoot, Jill's Gymkhana, My Secret Unicorn and various other horsey books by Linda Chapman, a whole load of short books by Pippa Funnell which take her about 20 seconds, Pony Club Secrets series, and The Silver Brumby but would like more please
She's very sensitive so I'm wary of many animal books where there are sad endings or a main animal character dies (Michael Morpurgo springs to mind) as she is then devastated and I have to pick up the pieces!
Any recommendations? I wasn't particularly into pony books as a child so don't have a stash of memories to fall back on
